News EA

MetaTrader News EA

RobotFX OCO News was designed to trade news events in an OCO approach. OCO stands for one cancels other and refers to the EA’s ability to close a pending order (or more) once the price triggers an opposite pending order.

Traders trading the news usually place two pending orders right before an important news event - that is the most known and profitable way to trade forex news - a buy-stop and a sell-stop. During and immediately after the news the price is likely to move in either direction, up or down, therefore triggering one of the pending orders. After that, the remaining (opposite pending) order is deleted.

As you can see in the picture, the EA placed three pending orders of each kind, longs and shorts. Once the price will reach the first pending orders, the expert will close ALL the other opposite orders.

The difference between RobotFX OCO News trading expert advisor and other one cancels other EA is that RobotFX can place multiple pending orders at a distance of your choice from each other. Also, it doesn’t miss the other important features that any good EA must have, like stoploss, take profit, breakeven, trailing stop etc.

Delete pending orders (minutes after news) - enter the number of minutes after the news release when the EA will start deleting the pending orders from the chart
Enable OCO (one cancels others) - set to true if you want the news EA to start deleting opposite pending orders as soon as the first pending order becomes active

Example: if the price will hit a pending buy order, the EA will attempt to close the sell pending orders

Trades of each kind - set the number of pending sells and buys allowed by the EA to open
The distance between them (pips) - this is the distance between the trades of the same kind
Distance from current price (of first pending order) - the distance (at the forex news release time), where the EA will place the first opposite trades (ie 1st buy and 1st sell)
Stop-loss (in pips, from current price) is the distance where the EA will place the stoploss for the pending orders it opens
Take-profit (in pips, from first order) is the distance, in pips, where the EA will place the takeprofit, relative to the price level of the 1st order
TrailingStop/BreakEven - as soon as the price reaches this distance in pips, from a positive profit trade, the EA will place the stoploss at breakeven, and if the price will continue in the trader's favor, the SL will continue to move (ie trailing stop)
TrailingStep - the step (number of pips) the price has to move in favor of a positive trade for the EA to consider dragging the stoploss so it wil be place at the TrailingStop distance (above) away from the price at that moment
Slippage - applies to both placing the pending orders and trailing the price and it is measured in pips
MagicNumber - used to restrict the EA to monitor only trades with this number, in case the trader wants to open/manage other trades on a similar chart

Metatrader expert advisors

Forex expert advisors (or forex EA) are automated trading systems (robot fx) programmed for the Metatrader platform. These forex trading robots are designed to trade forex automatically, without the trader's intervention. When choosing a FX EA trading robot it is important to understand how the fx robot trades, how it opens a trade and manages the opened forex trades.

Metatrader indicators

Also known as forex technical indicators, a technical MetaTrader indicator is generated by a mathematical calculation based on historic price data, aiming to forecast market direction. A robot trading forex (FX EA) can make use of such indicators and even load them on the trading chart, however since the indicators are based on previous data they shouldn't be blindly trusted.

Metatrader scripts

Metatrader scripts can be used to start multiple forex operations or the same operation on multiple charts, just like the forex robots. Usually they are set to run only one time (unlike the forex expert advisors) but here are also scripts that can run in the background, performing the same operation in a loop.

Metatrader templates

MetaTrader templates are pre-defined settings for charting. They help the forex trader to quickly customize a chart by simply loading the template to it, instead of having to place objects, MetaTrader indicators or forex expert advisors every time they open a new chart. MetaTrader includes a few pre-defined templates, like ADX, Bollinger Bands, Dinapoli, Layers, Momentum, Popular, Volume, and Williams.

Forex trading strategy

A forex strategy represents a set of analyses that a forex trader uses to determine whether to buy or sell a currency pair at any given time. Successful forex trading strategies can be based on technical analysis charting tools or fundamental, news-based events. It is widely accepted that one of the biggest mistakes new traders do is to migrate from one forex trading strategy to another forex trading strategy, therefore never learning to trade a specific forex strategy.

Foreign exchange market

The foreign exchange market (forex, FX, or currency market) is a global decentralized market for the trading of currencies. This includes all aspects of buying, selling and exchanging currencies at current or determined prices. Forex has been in existence since the 70’s of the XX century. It is a fast-growing and one of the most heavily traded markets in the world. The daily trading turnover on Forex is worth almost 4 trillion US dollars.

Currency trading broker

The currency trading brokers (forex brokers) are firms that provide currency traders with access to a trading platform that allows them to buy and sell foreign currencies. A currency trading broker, also known as a retail forex broker, or forex broker, handles a very small portion of the volume of the overall foreign exchange market. Currency traders use these FX brokers to access the 24-hour currency market.

MetaTrader trading platform

MetaTrader is a trading platform developed by MetaQuotes Software for online trading in the forex, contract for differences (CFDs) and futures markets. MT4 or MT5, as they are commonly known, can be downloaded for free directly from the MetaQuotes web site (metaquotes.net) or through dozens of online forex trading brokers.
